An exhibition that remembers, educates, and demands a stance
In the Kassel City Hall, the traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse opens a profound space of remembrance: From March 27 to May 29, 2026, it showcases in the area before the meeting rooms, 2nd floor, main building, through 24 roll-ups with photographs and research the history of right-wing violence in Hesse. Admission is free. The exhibition is supported by the DGB Educational Institute Hesse and funded by the Hesse State Center for Political Education.

Making history visible
The exhibition focuses on cases that must shape collective memory: the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. It connects historical research, political education, and a clear democratic message. Many victims of right-wing violence are still not sufficiently present; this is where the exhibition addresses the issues with education and context.

An artistic experience of political education
Even though the emphasis is on documentation, the interplay of photographs, roll-ups, and spatial effects creates a dense exhibition atmosphere. The contemplation of the works leads not to aesthetic distance, but to responsibility: images, names, and places become readable as part of a societal narrative. The curation is explicitly aimed at the public, schools, and initiatives, making the exhibition a place of cultural education.

Kassel City Hall as a public memorial site
Kassel City Hall is accessible without barriers; a tactile guidance strip and an external elevator provide access to the building and the citizen hall. For visitors, this means: The exhibition is anchored in a central, well-accessible building of the city that visibly supports public debate and participation.
